rcs tz43 thermostat and firmware 862

has anyone with a tz43 thermostat had success after upgrading to 862.

the setpoint and current temperatures now display on the gui in F. most polls fail. i cannot assign a new setpoint from the gui

the log entry generated from the set cool setpoint command to 78 was:

08/27/09 8:36:25.098 3684 Cool SP 78 node 6 09-08-27 8:36:15 09-08-27 8:36:15 09-08-27 8:36:25 10.35714000 9.610135000 Aborted Transmit failed with code: 1 6 7 ZWaveThermostat
